This is our Programme for 2026 - it's a slightly smaller programme than usual due to other family commitments but there are plenty of art and craft workshops to choose from, some favourites and some completely new, and I hope you find the list of courses as exciting as we do.
Booking - please use the form under each workshop description below - we will confirm by email and then send an invoice within a few days to you for the non-refundable deposit of £30/day. This will secure your place with the balance due a month before the course. We will send out invoices so you don't have to worry about remembering!
Materials - the materials for all crafts are supplied and included in the price - along with Trevor Osborne painting courses. For the other courses there will be a list of all the materials you will need to bring with you included on the course sheets. We send these out, as attachments, with every invoice, and again a week before the course as a reminder. Incidentally, we do have spare easels, boards and water pots here if required.
Lunch - we provide a complimentary lunch for students who attend our courses. We find that eating together at lunchtime makes the day a much more sociable occasion. We provide a simple, single choice of main meal, with a vegetarian option, and try to cater for some dietary needs within that remit, provided you inform us well in advance. However, you will need to provide your own lunch if we find we have too many diet variations to cope with, or your requirements are more complex, or you have severe allergies as regretfully we are unable to cater for these types of diet.
Refreshments - tea, coffee, decaf, herbal teas etc are on tap all day, included in the price of the course. Homemade cake/biscuits are also provided and included in the price.
There is no printed brochure so it's all here. Just scroll down, past the gift vouchers, to find out who is coming to teach, and when!! Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you want any more information.

During the class Toni will explain everything you need to get started with successful Enamelling and guide you, via demonstrations through several techniques such as wet packing, applying additional glass decoration and sgraffito. By the end of the class you will have made 2 - 3 enamelled pieces (depending on how involved your designs are)

Ladles have been used since time immemorial to serve food and to stir a pot over a fire or stove, but always in the context of families, groups and feasting. The humble ladle has been made of many different materials over the centuries from things that people found, like gourds, coconut or sea shells, and more latterly made of wood, copper or even gold! That said, ladles all have one thing in common, they’re deep, large and usually have a long handle to save the server from burnt fingers if cooking over a fire and to help with doling out food.
During our ladle-making workshop, Nick and his wife Debbie will teach you to carve a large ladle from a piece of greenwood. Greenwood (unseasoned or recently cut wood) carving is the traditional method of making using hand tools like axes and knives. With the help of a shave horse, or treadle vice, and the odd gouge, we’ll show you how to carve your very own ladle. Thirty centimetres in length with a seven or eight centimeter diameter bowl, your ladle will be able to take on any cooking or serving job you can think of!
Our ladle workshop is for absolute beginners, with little or no experience, but an interest in finding out more about greenwood carving. We will provide all the tools you need and personal protection like eye shields and work gloves. We advise to dress for the weather as we’ll be under a rain shelter but exposed to the elements, please also wear stout shoes or boots to protect your feet.

This course is aimed at celebrating Richard’s new book : The Watercolourist’s Index of the Urban Environment.
It will not be a course for the faint hearted! Water will be used in quantities and techniques will embrace splattering, washing onto washes and fiddling will be strictly banned. We will make full use of the natural earth colours – siennas, ochres and umbers, to recreate the tones and textures of rust found in decaying subjects.
The day will start with a couple of gentle, introductory exercises using objects provided from around the studio, exploring exactly how water, watercolour paper and the specific paints all work together. Please bring a suitable picture to work from for the next section of the day as this will be developed as a painting using the techniques previously explored.

Trevor always makes these days such a wonderful experience - and you get to take away an amazing sculpture too!!
Students will be working with polymer clay. This is a great product that dries and hardens without the use of a kiln and can be fired in a domestic oven.
Super Sculpey Polymer Clay
Super Sculpey is a polymer clay which is easy to model and stays soft until baking. Super Sculpey is a very unique polymer clay, loved by artists & animation studios alike. With a ceramic-like feel, Super Sculpey is available in a semi-translucent beige that, once baked, captures the glow of real skin. It is great for larger models as it can be painted with acrylic paints after baking. It can be fired (baked) in a domestic oven at home. Once baked it is totally impervious to the elements.
On this course we will build a wire armature which will be fixed to a base allowing us to pose the sculpture in an action pose. Students will learn clay modelling techniques including preparatory sketching, forming an armature, joining clay sections, fine modelling and finishing. A variety of finishes will then be explored to ensure long term preservation of the work.
Trevor will bring lots of pictures for reference as well as lots of advice and encouragement.
Please note - you will be taking these home to cook in your own ovens (it doesn't take long!) but you will need to know the size of your oven before you come to ensure your model will fit in it!!!

Another new exciting new workshop here at Watershed with the lovely Marta!
Step into the expressive world of experimental monoprinting — where every print is a one-off and no two results are ever the same. In this session, you’ll explore the magic of the single pull: using ink, texture, and gesture to create spontaneous, energetic prints. Working in black and white, you’ll experiment with techniques like negative and positive printing, masking, and blind embossing to reveal tone, texture, and depth. Expect to work intuitively — rolling, wiping, scratching, and layering ink on plastic plates before pulling each print by hand or on a press. The focus is freedom: embracing the unexpected, celebrating imperfections, and letting each mark lead to something new.
Here is a video on the process to give you an idea:

Margaret is a past master of pastel and her infectious approach to using this medium will encourage and stimulate your own enthusiasm.
With her unrivalled use of pastels and skilful application of oil paint, Suffolk-based Margaret Glass is known particularly for her stunning landscapes as well as depictions of boats, barges and waterside scenes.
We live in an area famous for it's low horizon and large skies. The small sky sketches of Constable are well know and the artist Edward Seago was, as a child, an invalid and spent a lot of time lying on his back and therefore studied and sketched the skies. We will be considering the structure of the clouds at various times of day.
Margaret will lead by a mix of ongoing demonstrations and one to one tuition throughout the two days - this is a course not to be missed if pastels are your medium! It's always a joy to have Margaret here!

In this workshop, Trevor will demonstrate and teach how to let go and let loose using water based media. By using a simple drawing and a clear understanding of the importance of tone and colour he will show how to achieve works that are fun, expressive and have impact and maybe even working outside the lines.
In the course of the day you will produce several pieces of work. You will work with a variety of media. If you are used to watercolour lacking strong colour and wish for the fluidity but with brighter colour you will love the way inks and watercolour can work together.
Minimal drawing skills are required in order to enjoy this workshop and the emphasis is upon capturing the essential features and having fun with them..
Trevor has been working in watercolour for over 50 years. He was fortunate early in his career to work with John Blockley, the father of Ann Blockley and the leader in a new approach to watercolour. From John he learned that watercolour can go way beyond its traditional use and be equal to any medium as an exciting experimental form of art.
